"All four lines played well in the first period and we need to do the same in the next game and the rest of the series".

"I've had some teams that have been very, very talented and they weren't necessarily the best teams", said Trotz, who is in the third round for the first time in 19 years as an National Hockey League head coach.

The Lightning scored a goal, but it was later ruled that Tampa had too many men on the ice.

From the opening face-off, the Capitals dominated the offensive zone, out-shooting and out-chancing the Lightning. "They out-played us", Stamkos said following the game. "Everybody was paying the price".
